Dads to Breakfast - Father's Day Event

"BRING YOUR DAD TO BREAKFAST" EXTRAVEGANZA

In celebration of Father’s Day and following the success in previous years we are launching 3 weeks of bring your Dad/Grandad to breakfast and share a story with them. This event is being held in support of National Bookstart Week.

About National Bookstart Week

National Bookstart Week is BookTrust's annual event celebrating the joys and benefits of sharing books, stories and rhymes with children from an early age. Reading together every day (even for just 10 minutes) can be lots of fun and can significantly help with a child's development.

Celebrating 25 years of Bookstart

This year's National Bookstart Week is extra special as BookTrust is celebrating 25 years of it's flagship programme, Bookstart. The fledgling Bookstart programme gifted books to 300 babies in Birmingham in 1992. Today, Bookstart provides free books and resources for every baby and pre-schooler in England and Wales through its partnerships with local authorities, along with free packs for children with additional needs and languages.

To date, Bookstart has given away more than 34 million free books, helping young children and their families develop a love of shared reading.

We think that's definitely worth celebrating!

The theme this year is Let’s Explore Outdoors! Linking beautifully into our new Early Literacy initiatives, Dough Disco, Funky Fingers and Squiggle while you Wiggle.

Bookstart's chosen book isEverybunny Dance!by Ellie Sandall.

Breakfast time is 8.00am – 8.30am and Dad’s/Grandad’s will be welcome to stay until 9.00am to share a book with their child after breakfast. Children who have a session that normally starts after 8.30am will be welcome to come into nursery at 8.00am with their Dad or Grandad on their chosen day.

Please support this event. Julie will be taking breakfast reservations in the office. This event will run between

Wednesday14th June – Friday 30th July 2017.

Happy Father’s Day
